I have wine working both here at the office and at home. I am running the version of wine that I installed using:
yum install wine
It works very well. In fact, I am even able to run Intellicad through wine without much problem.
What repo/mirrors are you using in your yum.conf that have wine? I'm using the artoo yum.conf (with a tweak to exclude kernel updates and a seamonkey repo for Mozilla) but wine doesn't seem to be available through those repos.
